One Month:(a few days late as always they were a month last Friday)
It is hard to believe that a month has already gone by. The boys are growing and changing so much. It is amazing to watch their little personalities and prefrences come out. Parenting twins is an absolute amazing blessing. It is HARD I'm not going to surgar coat that part of it but the joy it brings is so totally worth it! We LOVE them to pieces!! They are great babies and we have them on a semi-schedule at this point. They are eating every 4hours and taking right around 3 1/2 ounces although the last three nights they have given us a 5hour streach of sleep at night A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.! =) They have been eating at 10 2 and 6. Most people can't believe that we are up and out but if you know me I dont sit around the house much. They have had their first trip to Church, big brothers soccer games, Marbles, the state fair, the pumpkin patch, the mall, and a few other places already. I am hopeful that I can post some pics of those outings but for now we only have a few that I attempted to take at home. I did just get back some newborn pictures that a friend of mine who is a phenomenal photographer took but I can't post them yet...I am working on announcements =).
Joshua~ One Month Stats: 7lbs 3oz 21"
He is our little spit fire just like Benjamin you can already tell he has some spice in his personality. He doesn't like to wait and he will tell you about it in a heartbeat. When he cries he gets LOUD and MAD when you dont rush to get to him. Of course he is learning patience as we all are around here with 6 people. =) He still doesn't care for his carseat- he cries for a few minutes and then for the most part he gets over it but if he remains in it for any length of time he starts back up again. He already adores his big brothers and loves to watch them and listen to their voices. When he sleeps he loves to have a soft blanket wrapped around him and up near his face if he is sleeping and wakes up crying sometimes all he wants is to feel the blanket closer to him and he will calm right back down and go back to sleep.
James~ One Month Stats: 7lbs 8oz and 21"
He is our Mellow Mushroom so laid back and easy going! James doesn't get upset unless he needs a diaper or is hungry and even then its a soft cry. He does love to snuggle which we dont mind one bit. He adores his big brothers as well. He has the biggest brightest eyes and have even given us a couple of smiles but we haven't caught them on camera just yet! The boys love to snuggle together and we are letting them sleep in the same bed right now. Its so sweet James just turns his head next to Joshua and gets as close as he can and goes right to sleep. When he is awake he loves to just look around and take it all in. One of his favorite places is the bouncey seat where he can sit and watch everyone and eveything going on around him.
All of our boys- they are so smitten with each other and we are very smitten with all of them!
